Brazilian model Lais Ribeiro made quite an impression with her rookie SI Swimsuit feature in 2017 when she was photographed by James Macari in Sumba Island, Indonesia. So much so that the 32-year-old returned to the publication three more times, traveling everywhere from the Bahamas to Costa Rica to California with the brand.
In addition to SI Swimsuit, Ribeiro has modeled for a number of notable brands, including Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors and others. She and her husband, former pro basketball player Joakim Noah, recently celebrated their one year wedding anniversary after tying the knot in Ribeiro’s native Brazil last July.
It’s tough to pick a favorite of the model’s SI Swimsuit features, but we love all of the strappy looks Ribeiro wore while on location in Costa Rica with Macari in 2019. While she put in the work posing on the beach, the former Victoria’s Secret Angel also got to enjoy some R&R, exploring the jungles and swimming in a naturally heated river.
Below are five of our favorite swimsuits from Ribeiro’s photoshoot in Costa Rica four years ago.
